The North American Saxophone Alliance is an organization made up of individuals who share a common interest in the saxophone. Members include professional performers, university professors, public school teachers, students of all levels, and others who have an interest in the saxophone.

Excited to be premiering my completed Bari Sax Sonata and a Soprano Sax arrangement of Alexia Benson's 'Rebirth of the Phoenix'. My work for baritone saxophone is in four movements of increasing difficulty roughly ranging from an advanced high schooler to a professional. It is the first piece of its kind for the instrument and something that I hope bari sax players will soon call their own. At the conference, I will be performing the 2nd and 4th movements, entitled 'Dances of Distinct Hues' and 'Untamed, Unkept, Unhinged'. Alexia Benson's work was originally written for flute and arranged for soprano saxophone. It is playful, energetic, and epic.
